Nov 5th - Nov 11th Discussion #1


I personally don’t think that it is ethical for people to represent themselves inaccurately. Online dating is a choice of dating that is essentially available for adults looking for friendships and even committed romantic relationships. The only downfall to this type of dating is people are able to deceive others by posting different ages, false pictures of themselves, and even false biographies. A person can be whoever they choose in essence if they continue their relationship online. I don’t think that representing yourself inaccurately is fair to those who are online revealing their true self. It doesn't level the playing field and makes it unfair. Deception is present in all interaction but is more like online versus face to face. When you are in person you are unable to lie directly about gender, race, and other physical qualities. Someone who is willing to deceive another will find a way whether in person or online but meeting the person eventually will uncover a lot of truth.
